Jonathan Joseph will be a key man in Eddie Jones' midfield as England prepare for their tough upcoming autumn international schedule.

And by the looks of things, the Bath centre is fighting fit ahead of the Red Rose's fixtures with South Africa, Fiji, Argentina and Australia.

Joseph is part of England's 33-man injury-hit squad for the November Tests and will fly to Portugal with the rest of Jones' party on Sunday following Bath's clash with Exeter. And ahead of that Aviva Premiership tie, the 25-year-old showed he's in decent shape with an impressive video posted on his Instagram page.

Joseph has been an important figure for England under Jones, playing a vital role as the Australian has led his new team on an impressive unbeaten run since last year's debacle at their home World Cup.

The former London Irish man and Millfield School product also starts for Bath against Exeter at Sandy Park, joining fellow England internationals Semesa Rokoduguni, George Ford and Dave Attwood in Todd Blackadder's XV.

With five wins and a single defeat from their six games so far this season, Bath currently sit in third place and under Blackadder, look to have put last season's disappointing campaign behind them.

The centre starts for Bath in their Aviva Premiership trip to Exeter Chiefs on Sunday

Blackadder said: 'I’ve heard what great games we’ve had with Exeter in the past few seasons, and I’m sure Sunday’s game will be another.

'The game is going to be a big test for us, in terms of measuring where we are as a team. It will show us what we’re doing right as well as wrong, and mean we can take that forward into a pretty challenging run of Aviva Premiership games that we have coming up after the Anglo Welsh Cup.'

The game with Exeter will be Bath's last with their compliment of England internationals. While the likes of Joseph, Ford and Co are away, Blackadder's side face a tough run of Aviva Premiership fixtures with Bristol, Harlequins and Saracens.
